What fertilizer to use for Areca palm

2. Fertilization in autumn and winter

In autumn and winter, the Areca palm enters a dormant period. At this time, its demand for nutrients is not high and generally no fertilizer is needed. If fertilizer is applied, it should not be more than once a month, and the amount does not need to be too much. Also, keep a distance from the roots when fertilizing to avoid burning the roots. After fertilizing, pour water on the fertilizer to allow the water to carry the fertilizer to diffuse in the soil for easy absorption by the plant.

3. How to fertilize the newly bought

If you buy a plant with old soil, you don't need to fertilize it within half a year, because the old soil is rich in nutrients and can meet the needs for half a year. If there is no old soil, do not apply fertilizer for the time being, because the newly transplanted plants are very weak. Put them in a cool place for a week and wait for them to adapt to the new environment before applying fertilizer.
